    Deputy State Department Spokeswoman Marie Harf said approximately 12-thousand foreigners from at least 50 countries, have joined the insurgency in Syria.

    She said a number of American citizens were also among the insurgents.

    Meanwhile, another U-S official, who was speaking on condition of anonymity, said more than 100 U-S citizens have traveled or tried to travel to Syria to fight President Bashar al-Assad's government.

    A day earlier, F-B-I Director James Comey said uprooting homegrown terrorists is the FBI's number one priority.

    He added that U-S citizens who tried to join the insurgency in Syria pose a serious security threat to the country.
